knowables
Things potentially understood
Things that can be known or understood.
The term appears mainly in philosophical discussions distinguishing what lies within the reach of human cognition from what doesn't: The philosopher drew a line between knowables and unknowables.
In casual use, it refers to facts or information that can be learned: Let's focus on the knowables before we speculate.
